Hammerstone is an Australian, veteran-owned technology, engineering and sustainment company that designs, delivers and supports smart logistics solutions for complex and remote operations.
While Hammerstone’s solutions are proven in Defence environments — including coalition experimentation at Project Convergence Capstone 5 with Australian, US and UK forces — the same capabilities apply to mining, oil and gas, remote infrastructure and any industrial operation where logistics failure has serious consequences and systems must perform reliably with limited support infrastructure.
Hammerstone holds three ISO certifications: ISO 9001 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System), certified through JAS-ANZ accredited bodies. Hammerstone is also a Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) participant and a Veteran Employment Supporter, recognising its commitment to employing veterans in the Australian defence technology sector.
Hammerstone’s strength is in combining project management, systems engineering and supportability thinking into a single, coherent delivery method.
Hammerstone delivers end-to-end — project management, systems engineering and Integrated Product Support working together under a single accountable approach rather than as separate service lines. This means capabilities are designed for supportability from day one, delivery is governed with discipline, and through-life performance is planned alongside the initial design. Hammerstone maintains an ISO-certified Business Management System underpinning all delivery.
Hammerstone is led by Managing Director Matthew Shea — a Defence industry specialist and Board Director with more than 25 years’ experience in military command, major infrastructure delivery and high-growth technology ventures.
